THIS is the reason some of us are turned off Hillary Clinton, not a desire for women to "feel unworthy", whatever the hell that means. Pisses me off.

As a Lifetime Member of NOW, I'm gonna ignore all those fundraising letters I've been getting until this nomination is over.

Fuck NARAL -- they endorsed Lieberman over Lamont and then he rewarded them by giving his support to Justice Alito

While we love to look at the GOP and say how they are self destructing this time around...the Democratic Party is begining it's own self destruction.

This primary campaign is going to wreck the party to the point where if the GOP comes even close to getting it's shit together THE REPUBLICANS COULD STILL WIN NO MATTER WHO THE DEMOCRATS CHOOSE.

Thank you NOW, thank you!! Your the greatest thing for the Democrats since the Dixicrat insurgency in 1948!

NOW and NARAL suck for a variety of reasons. Donate to Planned Parenthood.

I'm with Citizen Insane. Find out where the rubber meets the road, and donate there. All these other groups are just hot air factories. Some of them, like the NY and CT NOWs, are actively poisonous.

Give to NARAL - but to NARAL Pro-Choice Washington, not NARAL Pro-Choice America. NPCA gives no dollars to state NARAL chapters - in fact NPCA actively siphons local dollars away from the state chapters doing the hard ground work for local pro-choice candidates and legislation.

Good point, Give Locally.

You can give money directly to the local Seattle NOW chapter, they're good folks.

Does anyone believe that NOW has gone off the reservation here? They're doing this because Hillary wants them to do it.

Remember how NOW reacted over the Terry Schiavo case?

(crickets chirping)

Exactly.

Yes, what @8 and @3 said. National NARAL jumped the shark with Lieberman and also with Chafee (sp - Chaffee? don't remember. Former liberal Republican Senator from Rhode Island).

They don't seem to get the idea that if the Republicans are in charge - even if some of them are individually pro-choice - they control the committees, and that greatly ups the chances of pro-life judges and FDA appointments and so on.
